Matchday Thread PNE v Rotherham Utd - 29/03/24 - KO:3PM - Championship
Couldn't hear that in the AKTE as most of their supporters seemed to have walked off at HT!
I know I shouldn't but I felt a bit sorry for them ( team and supporters ) to be honest.
Agreed it was good to see the three youngsters given game time, the second half was a non event and a chance missed in my opinion, not only to improve our GD , but also give the whole squad a feel good confidence boost
Young Stewart will probably never get an easier game at this level to grab his first championship goal, yet we just did not push on to give him more opportunities against a dreadful defence, instead choosing to play the keep possession safe option around the half way line.
Was not great viewing for those walk on Easter Bank holiday supporters to tempt them back for last few run in games.
To be fair, if they can't motivate themselves to come to a run in with the team pushing for a play off place then they won't be the biggest miss.
Nice to finally meet you today ⚽️😊👍

Yeah I was surprised how few of them had come at the start of the game but by the end I was shocked they’d brought as many as they did.
Me and Mrs A were in Finney Stand Block F yesterday so I could hear the Rotherham chants quite clearly….
After about 20 minutes they were chanting “ How shit must you be, we’re drawing away ! “
And my favourite “ Were all going on a League One tour “
Yeah and you drummer …..
I was just about to send you a message to say how nice it was to meet you in the flesh…..
I’ve got a ST in the Town End but Mrs A wanted to come on, so I swapped over to the Finney 👍🏻👍🏻
The funny thing was that there were about 100 of them stood right at the back of the Kop singing….
At half time about 50 or 60 of those went down to the concourse and never came back 😂
Fair play to the away fans that turned many times in years past, that was us 85/86 possibly the worst season on record but on the terraces is was different gravy, seige mentality but when times are tough it's others that get you through it.
Can’t say I blame them I’d have gone to pub aswell 😂
Did you miss our games against the lashers!
Haha every team has an off day, we are known for having quite a few. 😂They however was just an awful team and the table reflects that. Must be painful bein a Rotherham fan at the moment.
My heart would like to tell me the Lashers were worse but my head tells me Rotherham.
If they win another game or make it to 25 points it will surprise me.
I heard the equivalent at Boro/Gentry Day last season, for a couple of choruses.

To be fair I was surprised with how many came they where quite a few near to top trying to get some songs going but as @Ando60 said by 2nd half loads left or went for beers. Good 1st half performance 2nd half non event if we can get 3 points against Brum who won't be easy then it's been a decent return.

The lashers actually created some chances against us. Hit the post in the first ten minutes and remember Rodger’s missing a sitter plus they scored.
Rothertham were just abysmal. They could have played for years and they still couldn’t score. At half time they changed it up but their tactic was more damage limitation rather than trying to get back in the game.
I didn’t recognise you without your clown face on 😂😂
